Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed Auguat24, 1921. Serial No. 494,934.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, J ESSE W. STAPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Worth, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in clothes hangersand more particularly to a hanger-constructed of a single length ofwire and-adapted to support a coat, vest and trousers.

The primaryobject of the invention is to i provide a clothes hanger constructed of a single length of Wire shaped and bent to form. a place. for containing each garment of a three ieoe suit.

Other ob ects of the invention will appear upon consideration of the following detail description and accompanying drawings, where1n:-

The fi of the with my invention.

Referring to the drawing by numerals, the

re illustrates a perspective view main'iianger 1 is constructed of the wireby shaping and bending the wire to form a rela tively large hanger for receiving a coat, the

inclined portions 2 receiving the shoulders in the usual manner. The straight portion 3' which is ordinarily employed to receive the trousers, will in this instance, be used to receive the folded vest of the suit. Twothe wire are then arranged in portions of parallelism to form the arms '4 and 5 by bending the wire at the point 6 and forming book. 7 by which the hanger may be supported. The bend at the point 6 forms a.

' spring loop whereby the arms 4 and 5 will hanger 1 7 smaller in normally spring outwardly away from each other and the terminal of the arm 4 carries a. relatively small hanger '8 similar to the except that it dimensions, thestraight portion 9 being adapted to receive the trousers by anger constructed in accordance is considerably hangin them over the straight portion in the wel known manner. A hook'member 10 formed ontheterminal of the wire which forms the large hanger is adapted to engage the arm 4 to normally maintain the two arms 4 and 5 in close relative position when the hanger is in use. When the hook 10 is re' leased, the arms 4 and 5 will spring outwardly and thus permit the elements consti tuting the hanger to be employed for hang ing {the garment. inor changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from thespirit of the invention or the scopeof the claim hereunto appended.

What is claimed is A hanger of the character described comprisinga single length of wire shaped to form a coat hanger having shoulder sup-porting members and a, straight portionconneeting the said members for providing a vest hanger, the said wire being shaped to form an arm connected at the junction of the said shoulder supporting element, a similar parallel arm formed in the wire by a semi circu- 'lar' 'bend' approximately intermediate the ends thereof, the said parallel arms being Patented Jan. 3,1922. I

curved to form a supporting hook, o ne of the arms having its end portion shaped to provide a relatively small hanger similar to the larger hanger but of shorter dimensions for forming a trousers hanger, and a hook formed by one terminal of the wire and adapted to engage one of the arms whereby the two arms will be held in relatively close position against the spring action effected by the said semi-circular curved portion in the wire.

In testimony whereof, I have aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
